The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

[Asmodeus’s Return]

On one side of the battlefield, an Angel monarch was making his way toward the direction Asha was fighting in. The poor Insect Queen had to hold the entire battlefield by herself.

However, despite having fewer warriors compared to the thousands she was up against, Asha had done an impeccable job holding them back for the past 9 hours.

Not even a single Insect soldier was killed.

They had been doing a great job, especially Linx and Jinx.

The two Ant Generals were the cornerstone of the insect army, not because they were the strongest, but because they were the best at both fighting and coordinating with the ordinary Ant and Butterfly soldiers.

The two had held back the forces, and even the Ant and Butterfly Queens joined in the battle. However, as the danger slowly began to intensify around her, she began to feel its impact.

Slowly, she was forced to unleash one of her trump cards, which was her Ant Demon Army.

69 handsome and 69 beautiful pale-looking warriors, each clad in black armor, had been sweeping across the battlefield for the past 5 hours.

However, just when the angels started appearing, Asha decided to unleash her last trump card…

“Death Agents… Advance.” The door leading to the domain of insects opened, and 12 figures clad in red armor walked out, each radiating the aura of a Domain-stage warrior; however, even the death-stage warriors who sensed them started to retreat.

“KILL THEM ALL!” Asha issued the order unleashing his last trump card.

However, before she could make her own move using her spearman class, a whip crackling with lightning wrapped around her neck, pulling her away.

“Queen Asha…” The Ant soldiers screamed when they saw their Queen being pulled away.

However, before any of them could make a move, a bone dragon burst out of the ground and breathed necrotic flames on the Angel, whose scream instantly filled the battlefield.

He let go of Asha, who coughed a mouthful of blood and landed atop the head of the bone dragon.

The next second, the dead bodies of the warriors on the ground stood up at the command of Asmodeus’ chilling voice.

They started attacking their fellow warriors.

[Asha vs an Angel Monarch]

“Long time no see, Asha.” After Asmodeus announced his return, he appeared beside Asha with a cold smile.

“It has only been 8 hours, Asmodeus; no need to look smug… Now, if you don’t mind, I have a monarch to kill.”

A spear appeared in Asha’s hand as she locked her gaze with the Angel Monarch who had attacked her.

“Blaze will help you.” With that, Asmodeus teleported away.

“Who are you and where do you come from?” Asha asked, looking at the Angel, who wore a weary expression as he watched the bone dragon Asha stood on.

“I don’t answer to insects.”

“You will die by one.” Asha moved, and a whip came for her. However, butterfly wings appeared behind her, allowing her to move several times faster.

She evaded the whip and appeared overhead, stabbing her spear at the Angel, only for his whip to circle around and latch onto the spear.

“Reverse Epoch.” Asha used the Time Law to rewind time by a second, just enough for her to summon a second weapon.

To the Angel, nothing had changed. He attacked with his whip just when Asha lunged at him. He then saw Asha grow wings, allowing her to evade his whip.

However, being the arrogant Angel he was, he allowed his whip to circle around and come for the spear that was stabbed at him.

In his mind, if he moved his whip and got the spear, he would move forward and grab Asha’s neck. That was his kill move, always going for the neck.

However, just when his whip wrapped around Asha’s spear and he moved to grab her by the neck, Asha’s left hand moved and, like an experienced assassin, a dagger spun in her palm…

SLASH

It was quick and decisive.

Asha teleported away just when she managed to land a cut. He landed back on the head of the bone dragon Asmodeus left behind.

“You think a mere cut will be enough to kill me?” the Angel said, his expression dark. Getting cut in the face by a mere Domain-stage warrior was a plain insult to his pride.

This infuriated him, and so he wanted Asha dead.

However, Asha, known for her harsh tongue, spread her arms and smirked, “Take your best shot and let’s see who dies.”

This gesture further provoked the Angel, prompting him to channel his spiritual qi to charge his whip…

COUGH.

However, before he could even channel a sliver of his spiritual energy into the whip, the poison the dagger was made from took effect, causing him to puke blood.

“What did you do to me?” he coughed more blood, causing a satisfied smile to appear on Asha’s face…

“An insect had just killed an Angel.”

With that, she flew away, leaving the poor monarch at the mercy of Blaze’s Necrotic flames…

Somewhere on the battlefield, Nebula, who had driven an arrow through a Domain-stage warrior, looked toward the direction Asha was fighting in and smiled.

“She used it.”

Nebula raised her left arm and saw that an arrowhead tattoo had appeared on the back of her hand. The smile on her face widened.

“Myrk, cover for me.” An Ice Hound, one of Klaus’s beasts, nodded and unleashed an area-of-effect skill that instantly turned the 100 meters to ice.

Nebula used the cover created by Myrk to fly up into the air. When she was far enough, her bow trembled, and the arrowhead tattoo lit up.

Then a red arrow appeared in her bow and was aimed at an Angel Monarch flying toward Miriam, who was locked in battle with two Death-stage warriors.

“Life Ender.”

BOOM.

The arrow left her bow, cutting the void as it flew toward the target.

“What the hell…” The angel who sensed the arrow raised five layers of defense, blocking the arrow’s path.

However, to her absolute shock, just when the arrow landed on the first layer of defense, it passed through it, almost as if the defense wasn’t there.

The remaining layers were also nothing. In an instant, the arrow went through all five layers and drew a hole through the Angel’s skull.

“It worked,” Nebula said, watching as the Angel fell down only to rise from the dead and start slaughtering her fellow angels…

Nebula instantly tapped into the connection she shared with her sisters and issued an order.

‘My dear sister, it will be great if you all can use the daggers I gave you. For every life you claim with it, I can kill someone of the same cultivation base as them.’

‘WHAT’

They were all taken aback by her words. They knew the dagger could kill anyone it cut. They are also aware that they only had one chance to use it. They could never miss.

However, they had no idea there was such a ridiculous ability embedded in it.

‘Trust me, Asha just killed a Monarch, and thanks to her, I also killed a Monarch… Ladies, I don’t have any trump cards aside from the daggers, so try to kill Death-stage warriors and higher.’

‘I am on it,’ Nia, who had been dormant all this while, spoke.

Somewhere on the battlefield, a shadow moved, picking an Angel Monarch who was locked in fierce combat with Miguel and Mason.
